Seeing the Dark
Chapter 1: A day at the Crime Lab
(Lucy's POV)
Today is Saturday, and Mommy and Daddy are working. Daddy already left for work. He was called in this morning around 3:30 am. For a normal seven year old, this is not what you usually do on a Saturday; I go visit my godfather Mac, Uncle Flack, Aunty Stella, and Uncle Adam and Hawks at the crime lab. Mommy and I got ready and we headed to mommy's work, the crime lab.
We finally arrived at the lab and every body was to see me. I was the only lab child.
"Hey Lucy what are you up to" Flack asked me
"Well, I am here on a Saturday. I have nothing to do better so... Are you doing anything Uncle Flack?" I said with a big smirk on my face.
"Indeed I am not" He paused a few seconds and then looked at mommy "You don't mind if I steel your daughter Monroe?"
"I don't mind but my name isn't Monroe it's Messer!" She said a little annoyed
"Sorry I have to get used to that" He said a little ashamed
"It's been 6 years I think..." Before mommy could finish uncle Mac interrupted by saying "Before you two start world war 3, Can you all head down to my office so I can assign you to your case."
Everyone went down the hall to uncle Mac's office. I followed them because I had nothing better to do. Mac assigned every one with a post except for Flack. Flack and I stayed together. We played Uno, Princess sorry and other games nut I beet him in every one of them.
A couple of hours later it was mommy's lunch break so she took me to the coffee store in front of the Lab. Suddenly mommy's phone rang.
"Messer" She said
"Hello, its Haley is Lucy there please?" Haley said on the other end of the line.
"Yes just a second" Mommy handed me the phone and told me it was Haley.
"Hi Haley what's up?" I asked her
"Hello, I wanted to know if you wanted to come over on Monday after school."
"Ok I am going to tell my mommy bye"
I hung up the phone and told mommy that Haley had invited me to go to her house on Monday after school. Mommy answered yes but under one condition which was always the same one: You have to be careful.
We left the coffee store and went back to the lab. Since mommy thought I would be old and responsible enough she let me help her analyse the pants and I helped mommy find the prime suspect in her case.
The day came to an end and we headed home. We ate supper, I took my shower watched a little TV and then mommy and daddy read me a bedtime story. I finally fell asleep and started to dream…
Lucy's Dream
I was all alone at home. Everything was quiet, there was no sound. It didn't last for very long because a few instants after, I heard a loud Crash. The first thing that came to my mind when I heard the front door open and it wasn't mommy or daddy was to go hide under my bed. I blocked my ears hoping that every thing would go away. I could see from the little space under my bed, a very tall man with short curly black hair. The man was holding a gun. That's when he said "Marc bring the girls in this house will do" He said to another man. I guessed the other man's name was Marc. Marc was also holding a gun. That's when I realised that he was bringing in many young girls. I guessed the girls where about 6 to 10 years old. They had many cuts and bruises. I was scared that the two mans would find me. After what seemed like hours I heard the two man shoot things with their guns. I wasn't sure what they were shooting until I heard the young girls scream "No, No don't do this to us we never did anything to you. Please don't kill us no…" The sounds were cut off with the sound of shots. The only thing I could do was close my eyes and block my ears. Everything went quiet again until the other man said "there all gone now lets get out of here" I heard the door open again. I waited a few instants and then got out of under the bed. I walked to the living room and saw 6 girls bleeding to death. The first thing that came to my mind was run to all of them to check if they were dead. Sadly they all were. I heard a sound coming from behind the couch. I knew the two mans where gone so I went behind the couch and saw Haley, my best friend bleeding from her stomach. I lifted her up and brought her on the floor in front of the couch. I ran to the washroom, took a cloth and ran back to her. I applied presser on her wound to stop the bleeding. With all the strength she had she told me "Thank you but the wound is to deep" I didn't want her to die so I answered with all my confidence "You're not going to die you are strong just try not to sleep stay awake…" Before I can finish she screamed "Be careful the man is in the back" I turned around and here he was the man was standing behind me with his gun. He pointed it at me and said "Well, well, I see we have forgotten one and the other is bleeding to death well now I am happy" He pointed the gun to Haley and shot her again, but this time it was in the head. She had no chance of surviving. He then pointed it back at me and said "Have a good night" The next thing I knew I fell to the ground. My stomach was hurting me like hell. My eyes slowly closed.
End of dream…
I woke up screaming no. Mommy came running in my room and sat with me in my bed.
"What's the matter Lucy?" She said still half sleepy.
"I…I…I had a bad dream a very bad dream" I said shaking
"It's ok now it's over" Mommy came with me under my blankets and put her arms around me. I fell asleep with the sound of her hearth.
